The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few...

Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the...

Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications, having the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known material. Despite decades...

The origin of the pseudogap region below a temperature T* is at the heart of the mysteries of high-Tc cuprate superconductors.The proposed broken time-reversal and inversion...

The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common...

We propose to use WISH to perform high resolution diffraction measurements using a fine temperature step size on powder Pb3TeCo3B2O14 (B=V,P). These measurements are crucial to...

Experiments performed in our laboratory indicate that maleic acid undergoes an unexpected structural change when subject to high pressure and temperature conditions. For these...

Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. In this proposal, we seek to...

Mn3Sn has very complex magnetic ordered phase, a clear magnetic phase transition happens at T=~280K accompanied by the vanishing of AHE.For our Mn3Sn crystal grown by flux...

Free volume theory has successfully predicted and described all of the liquid-to-solid transitions in hard sphere system. However, in polymer system, the exact molecular picture...

Cu-BHT exhibits perfect kagome lattice of Cu2+ and previous combined magnetization and specific heat results suggested the presence of strong spin fluctuations. If there are...

Recently we studied L-alanine to 9.85 GPa. This is the highest pressure for which structural data are available for any organic system larger than methane. The results enabled...

Many network-forming liquids exhibit water-like thermodynamic and kinetic anomalies, the most obvious of which concerns the presence of a regime of anomalous densities as well...

We request 10 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of a multifunctional catalyst (Pd/MoO3) for the one-step isomerization in the...

We will use time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity measurements to follow the in-situ growth of polymer brushes by surface-initiated ATRP. This will enable us to determine...

With the observations of spin ice behaviour in Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 the rare earth pyrochlores R2B2O7 have evolved as a hot topic of current research activities. In our effort...

Understanding the energetics and structure of aromatic molecules (those containing benzene rings) is important to a large area of chemical science including protein and DNA...

This study will examine a process of slow dynamic change in surface excess of a unique pH-responsive chelating surfactant at the air/liquid interface that occurs over a period...

The main goal of the present proposal is to evaluate the methane hydrate formation in nanocavities of ZIF-90 using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements. Recently, we...

Amyloid fibrils are highly organized filamentous structures formed by the self-assembly of polypeptides. This proposal is to study the effect of pressure on the structure of...
